Read PDF Aloud

Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I was frustrated that most PDF voice readers completely butcher two-column layouts (reading straight across the page) and require expensive monthly subscriptions while sending private documents to the cloud.
So, I built Read PDF Aloud.
Here is what makes it different:
Smart Column Parsing: It understands complex layouts and reads columns in the correct order.
100% Offline & Private: Everything runs locally in your browser. No files are ever uploaded.
Bimodal Reading: Highlights the current sentence and the exact word, which is perfect for maintaining focus (especially for ADHD/dyslexia).
Pay Once: No monthly fees. A simple lifetime deal.
